Show Content:
- 00:19 - Intro to the show, contact information and how to provide comments
- 01:09 - Dan covers the comment section... mainly that there are no comments yet because the show hasn't been publicized. Stated again the contact info and welcomed comments. (Including on whether or not we should keep the intro sound effects.)
- 01:43 - Discussion of last week's Skype security alerts: SKYPE-SB/2005-002 and SKYPE-SB/2005-003. Including the quick response as well as some of the media coverage.
- 05:23 - The German Federal Agency for Information Security released a report on VoIP security. (For non-German speakers, there is a ComputerWorld article in English that explains a bit more.)
- 07:28 - Dan mentions that most of the other news items he saw were about the VoIPSA Threat Taxonomy that Jonathan (who chaired the VOIPSA committee creating the taxonomy) was out at Internet Telephony to unveil
- 08:20 - Jonathan discusses reaction to the VoIP Security Threat Taxonomy and then goes into details about why the taxonomy was created, lessons learned out of it (some relating to VoIP spam, aka SPIT), statistics and how people can help (Hint: there's a wiki where participation is welcome.)
- 17:50 - Dan asks Jonathan whether there were any VoIP security products out at Internet Telephony that impressed him. (The answer is..... )
- 02:30 - Review of the last week's traffic on the VOIPSEC public mailing list, which was actually quite quiet with only a few posts about the Skype security evaluation (mentioned in show #1) and an invitation to submit papers to a conference. Dan mentioned that David Endler, the chair of VOIPSA, had just sent out a note that he was removing moderation from the list, so we will see how the traffic goes over the next week.
- 22:53 - Wrapup of the show and information about how to provide comments.
